Yet another chapter is being written about San Jose and its medical marijuana dispensaries. With the announcement that enough people signed the petitions to put the city's ordinance on the ballot, the city council is now looking at potential compromises. Last fall, the council ignored the planning commission's suggestion to limit dispensaries to 25, voting instead for a limit of 10 and a requirement that the marijuana be grown on the collective's premises. A petition drive to void the council vote ensued, collecting the signatures needed to put the measure on the ballot. Reed said the main issues are the number of collectives, which he is willing to push up to 25, the method for selecting dispensaries, and off-site cultivation, which must be done in San Jose in order to monitor it. We don't have the jurisdiction to observe cultivation sites in Mendocino County, Reed said in an interview. - January, 27th 2012 THC Finder
